Systems thinking in public health looks at how different disciplines work together to create the public health system. When we examine the public health system as a whole, we can see several different parts; health education, health communication, the public health workforce, information technology, and even non-profit organizations concerned with population health help make the public health system work.
For this assignment, choose an organization that is part of the public health system (local, state, federal or global health organization, non-governmental organization, or other organization whose mission is to improve population health). Briefly describe the organization and what they are doing to improve population health. How does this organization fit into the overall public health system? What other organizations inside or outside the discipline of public health may be assisting your chosen organization in meeting the goal of improving population health?
